Cars are evolving, and many of them are getting all-screen controls. Some, however, are going too far -- but the LucidAir proved there can be a balance.
Cars are rapidly evolving, and it seems like just about everything about them is going digital. Of course, for the most part, that’s a good thing. It allows for more remote control over your car, a cleaner look to your car’s dashboard, and more.
Car companies are software companies? There’s one simple explanation for why digital controls in cars can be, and often are, bad. They’re unsafe. When you’re supposed to be watching the road, it’s simply dangerous to be hunting around an interface just because you’re a little cold. For the most part, traditional car companies are starting to clue into this, but they clearly have a long way to go. Most of the major automakers have placed a heavy emphasis on their software over the past few years, but even the big ones, like Ford, still struggle.
It’s not as if Lucid actually needed to do this. As mentioned, its software controls actually aren’t bad. And even if they weren’t the best, car companies have started adopting better tactile feedback, as smartphone manufacturers have been doing for years, ensuring that drivers know that their pressing a button without having to actually look at the screen.
